If you do not have ncpfs-2.2.0.16, but anything newer, or older than 2.2.0.12, then it should work. If it reports 8847, it means that you have misconfigured network (search for 8847 on support.novell.com). You have either no server on 802.2, or you (or admin) disabled Reply To Get Nearest Server on all servers connected to your wire. You must enable it at least on one of them.
